About the MGP 641 Multi-Graphic Processor

Features

The Extron MGP 641 is a multi-window processor that scales and presents up to four 4K @ 60 Hz source signals on a single screen. It features advanced Extron Vector 4K scaling technology for high image quality. The HDCP 2.3-compliant processor includes four HDMI 2.0 inputs and an additional HDMI background input for presenting live, non-scaled content behind source windows. HDMI and DTP2 4K @ 60 Hz outputs deliver duplicate signals to local and remote displays. Fully customizable window layouts, logo and video keying, and window transition effects enhance presentation of the source content. Source and output rotation enable use with portrait displays, and audio de-embedding simplifies integration. Configurations can be saved as presets and recalled as needed.

The MGP 641 can be controlled and configured remotely using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands via the RS-232, USB, or Ethernet LAN connections, the Videowall Configuration Software (VCS) via an Ethernet LAN or USB, the MGP 641 embedded web pages, and the front panel buttons and knobs.

• Displays up to four source windows on a single screen with a live or static

background — Simplifies system design by reducing the need for multiple displays.

• Four HDMI 2.0 inputs

• HDMI 2.0 background input — A dedicated, non-scaled input accepts live

background content from an HDMI source.

• HDMI 2.0 and DTP2 outputs — The MGP 641 features one HDMI output and a

duplicate DTP2 output.

• Supports resolutions up to 4K/60 @ 4:4:4 — Supports HDMI 2.0 input and output

signals up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 color sampling.

• Supported HDMI 2.0 specification features include data rates up to 18 Gbps,

Deep Color, and HD lossless audio formats

MGP 641 Series • Introduction 1

• Advanced Extron Vector 4K scaling engine — The Vector 4K scaling engine

is specifically designed for critical-quality 4K imagery, with image upscaling and downscaling.

• Multiple window transition effects — Windows can be transitioned into and out of

the window preset using dissolve and cut effects.

• Integrated DTP2 extension supports transmission of 4K @ 60 Hz video up to

330’ (100 m) over a shielded CATx cable

• Compatible with all DTP-enabled products, plus XTP CrossPoint matrix

switchers — Enables mixing and matching with desktop and wallplate endpoints, as well as other DTP and DTP2-enabled products to meet application requirements. The MGP 641 processor can be integrated with XTP and XTP II CrossPoint matrix switchers to provide connectivity between presentation spaces and a larger, facility-wide system.

• DTP2 output is compatible with HDBaseT-enabled devices — The DTP output

can be configured to send video and embedded audio, plus bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals to an HDBaseT-enabled display.

• HDCP 2.3 compliant — Ensures display of content-protected media and

interoperability with other HDCP-compliant devices.

• User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows individual inputs to appear HDCP

compliant or non-HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non-HDCP mode.

• HDCP Visual Confirmation — When HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a

non-HDCP compliant display, green video is sent to the display for immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on that display.

• Key Minder continuously verifies HDCP compliance for quick, reliable

switching — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to two or more displays.

• EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between connected

devices — EDID Minder ensures that all sources reliably output content at power up.

• Supports custom EDID and output resolutions — User-defined output resolutions

up to 600 MHz pixel clock can be supported by uploading custom EDID files or capturing EDID from a display or other destination device.

• Logo image keying and display — A logo graphic can be positioned and keyed over

live video. Graphics files in BMP, JPG, PNG, or TIFF format may be uploaded to the unit. Full-screen images up to 4K resolution can also be displayed to eliminate loss of video between presentations. Up to 32 logo images can be stored on the processor.

• Video keying — Title information or other content from any window can be keyed over

lower priority windows or background content.

• Cascade multiple MGP 641 processors for additional windows — Up to four

MGP 641 units can be cascaded via the HDMI 2.0 background input to present up to 16 windows on a single display.

• Fully customizable window layouts — The four windows can be sized, positioned,

and overlapped anywhere on the display, with additional adjustments for image zoom and priority.

• Output rotation — The duplicate HDMI and DTP2 output signals can be rotated

90 degrees, accommodating displays arranged in portrait or landscape orientations.

MGP 641 Series • Introduction 2

• Source rotation — Inputs 2 and 4 can be rotated + or - 90 degrees, providing flexible

and creative presentation options for live content.

window border options include semi-transparent borders and text labels with adjustable size, color, and location.

• 128 window configuration presets — A total of 128 default window presets are

available and customizable to allow quick saving and recall of size, positioning, priority, and border style for each window.

• Window preset effects — Transitions between presets can be set to Cut or Animated.

The Animated effect dynamically resizes and repositions the four windows to the locations determined by a new preset. Duration is adjustable.

• Screen Saver Mode — Can be set to automatically mute video and sync output to the

display device when there are no active connections or logos displayed. The connected display automatically enters standby mode to conserve energy.

• Customizable on-screen clock — A single on-screen clock in a digital time format

can be presented anywhere on screen, with user-definable size, color, time, and date formatting.

• Stereo audio de-embedding — Embedded HDMI two-channel PCM audio can be

extended over the DTP2 output or extracted as balanced or unbalanced stereo audio to the analog outputs.

• Aspect ratio control — The aspect ratio of the image in a window can be controlled

by selecting a fill mode that provides a full window display or a follow mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.

• Front panel controls with LCD display — Back-lit front panel buttons and an LCD

menu system with navigation controls provide quick access to configuration settings.

• Front panel USB configuration port — Enables system configuration without having

to access the rear panel.

Installing the LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Brackets

The Extron LockIt lacing brackets make it possible to simply and universally secure a standard HDMI cable to most HDMI devices.

NOTE: The HDMI device must have an HDMI

connection mounting screw for this bracket to be used.

To securely fasten an HDMI cable to a device:

1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection.

2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the

panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be removed.

3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against

the HDMI connector, then tighten the screw to secure the bracket.

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI

connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown.

5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing

bracket, tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.

ATTENTION:

• Do not overtighten the HDMI connection mounting screw. The shield to which

it is fastened is very thin and can easily be stripped.

• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel

elle est attachée est très ﬁn et peut facilement être dénudé.

Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP, XTP, and HDBT Communication

The MGP 641 is compatible with shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) cable DTP, XTP, or HDBaseT communication.

ATTENTION:

• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201

cable to link the device with DTP transmitters or receivers.

• N’utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-FreeUTP version améliorée UTP23SF d’Extron ou

le câble STP201 pour relier le appareil avec les émetteurs ou les récepteurs DTP.

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances and reduce transmission errors.

• Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best

performance:

• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool

• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool

• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10

• If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid

conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.

• Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.

• Limit the use of more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points,

punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points are required, use shielded couplers and punch down connectors.

NOTE: When using shielded twisted pair cable in bundles or conduits, consider the

following:

• Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.

• Do not comb the cable for the first 20 meters, where cables are straightened,

aligned, and secured in tight bundles.

• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook-and-loop fasteners.

• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.

RS-232 and IR Signal Insertion

The twisted pair output port allows you to insert RS-232 and IR control signals onto the same cable that carries video and audio to extend them to the Over TP port on a connected endpoint (see figure7 on page12).

A control signal applied to an MGP 641 LAN port can be routed to the RS-232 port of the connected twisted pair device. The RS-232 inputs and outputs inserted via Ethernet can support up to a 115 K baud rate.

When connected to an Ethernet LAN, the MGP can be accessed from a computer running a standard Internet browser. Connect the MGP to a computer, control device, router, or switch (see figure4 on page9 to wire the crossover cable).

The default IP address of the MGP 641 is 192.168.254.254, the default subnet mask is

255.255.255.0, and the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0.

MGP 641 Series • Installation 11

Connecting for Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion

RS-232 Insertion

Figure7 on the next page shows a connection example of an Ethernet to RS-232 insertion,

in which an Extron IPCP Pro control processor provides control of a display via the MGP 641. Configure this type of insertion as follows:

1. Connect a twisted pair cable from the control processor to the MGP 641 LAN port,

directly or via a network.

2. If necessary to match the device to be controlled, use VCS (see the VCS Help File)

or SIS commands (see the Serial Port Configuration commands on page 67) to configure the port RS-232 protocol (baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits).

3. Connect the TP cable from the MGP 641 DTP Out connector to the input of the DTP

endpoint (receiver).

4. Connect a serial cable from the DTP receiver to the device to be controlled.

Port number

For Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, the insertion port number must be stated from a specific universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) start point. This number is entered as the IP port number when you establish communication with the insertion port. The output insertion port number is automatically assigned as 2001 and cannot be changed.

Input Presets

The MGP 641 has 128 input preset slots that are global, containing all of the settings for an input when the MGP 641 is used with an upstream matrix switcher. Input presets allow a matrix switcher with multiple types of video inputs to be connected to the MGP 641 to expand the number of input video sources.

Each input should be switched into the MGP 641, configured (size, position, and preset name), then saved as a preset for recall by the control system when that input is sent from the switcher to any of the four MGP inputs.

Input presets can be saved and recalled using VCS (see the VCS Help File) or by SIS commands (see the Input Presets commands on page57).

The following settings are contained in the input presets:

• Input type

• Input name

• Image position

• Image size

• Window size (for reference)

Image size and position are saved based on the percentage of the window filled, so the preset can be used for the input in any window size. Therefore, the preset can be saved from any window and the saved size and position is scaled proportionally when recalled in another window.

Preset #13Preset #14Preset #15

MGP 641 Series • Operation 18

Picture Controls

When an input preset is recalled to a window, it fills the window based on the sizing and positioning that the preset had at the time that it was saved. For example, if a video source had been zoomed into when it was saved as a full screen window, it is still displayed zoomed in if it is recalled to a smaller window.

Since all inputs are digital, input presets can be saved based on one input rate and recalled to a different input rate. This enables presets to be used to set aspect ratio or for other quick sizing shortcuts.

The MGP 641 has four picture control buttons located on the front panel to the left of the Preset Recall/Save and Enter buttons. Use these buttons to adjust horizontal and vertical size, horizontal and vertical position, Auto Image, and magnified focus (zoom).

NOTE: Picture controls are window-dependent. The values

must be set separately for each window.

• Pressing a Picture Control button once displays the picture control for the selected

window on the LCD screen. While the control is displayed, pressing any of the other window buttons displays the picture control settings for that window.

• For the Window/Image Size, Window/Image Position, and Window/Image Zoom,

buttons, press the button repeatedly to switch between window settings and image settings.

The selected window displays a blinking blue border, whether or not a border is enabled for that window.
